From May 21-26, 2018 I presented a series of five lectures at the IZA Summer School in Labor Economics on the topic of "The New Empirics of Search and Matching". In response to popular demand, I have posted the lecture slides here.

The lectures summarize a substantial body of new research on how workers and firms actually find each other and make matches. A substantial share of the new findings draw on data from online job boards and online labor markets which have recently become available.

Lecture 1-- Formal versus Informal Search

Lecture 2-- Advertising for Jobs

Lecture 3-- Choosing Employees from the Pool

Lecture 4-- Applications and Matchmaking

Lecture 5-- Platforms
